LaChula Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 4 of us had dinner there last night. The food was wonderful. I had an appetizer of mushrooms stuffed with shrimp and cheese-it was an enormous portion and delicious. One had the Ciappo, one had steak, I had linguini with seafood. I asked for red sauce and another had it with white sauce. The portions were very generous. One of us said the dinner salad was the best Lakeside. The only little problem was that the waiter didn't ask how my friend wanted the steak done, and she neglected to tell him "termino medio" so it was more well done than she would have preferred.

Mainecoons Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 We've always eaten well at Manix but stopped going because of the loud music. If that can be avoided, maybe it is time to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Haven't been to Manix for sometime. Sounds like they have some new things on the menu. However, I'm with MaineCoons on loud music--don't like it. It's especially unpleasant for my husband, as he wears hearing aids. Was the music loud, do you recall, LaChula?

HarryB Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 they have a 65 peso lunch menu that is really surprising, great variety and large portions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I also wear two hearing aids. Generally, we avoid restaurants with music, period, because so few of them seem to understand how obnoxious it is to be blasted with mainly amateurish noise when one is wanting to share a pleasant meal and conversation with family and friends. Why Mannix, a restaurant that has well above average ambiance and food, thinks they need to do this is beyond me. For the same reason, we don't patronize most of the restaurants on the Carretera. I don't need the sound of unmuffled trucks and their fumes as part of my dining experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losgatos Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ditto on the food and the music. Very good eating, not inexpensive for an evening meal. Will have to try the lunch value menu. But the loud music is OFFENSIVE and for that reason we have not gone back in years. And the acoustics on the first floor are such that if people are enjoying themselves, laughing and talking loudly, which of course they have every right to expect to do, the sound amplifies and reverberates and roars across the restaurant. Hector does not get it or, probably, does not want to get it re: the sound. From past experience hosting private parties there he went out of his way to insure that the crappy music was included and had to be paid for. Then again he probably has more than enough business and really doesn't have to worry about the dissenters. You can't please everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy There was no music, Lexie. I don't know if they still have loud music on Wed(?) nights for dancing, but Saturday night it was lovely. I also cannot deal with loud music, I avoid it like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrod Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 We were at Manix for dinner last Tuesday at 7 pm; only one other table at that time and no music at all on that evening. All was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 What is "Ciappo?" I'm still wondering what this is. Anybody know? It was mentioned by the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
